The Dining Room

Monday, March 4, 2013

I promised I would take you on a tour of our home so WELCOME to the dining room.

We still have to-do lists for most of the rooms in our home and is why this room is one of my favorites, it's finished.

The hydrangeas in the centerpiece are from our daughter's wedding

and were placed on a crystal cake stand on top of a silver tray.After the wedding reception my sister took home some of the large centerpieces so she could dry them for me. We've dried hydrangeas before and they kept their shape and color, but these shriveled up. She dried all the hydrangea from four very large arrangements but due to the bloom shrinkage I ended up with only one centerpiece. I do love it and it reminds me of an amazing day!

The dining room table and chairs were purchased from a local antique shop

and the buffet and china cabinets are from my husband's family.

The empire chest was purchased at an auctionand is where I store doilies, candles, note cards, tissue paper, gift bags, and ribbons.

Yes sweet friend, you do have a lovely dining room. I have a special love for dining rooms and your dining furniture is beautiful! I agree with you..some rooms in our home are also; "finishd for now." Have a great week.FABBY

I love your dining room furniture and everything! And those window curtains! WOW!

You know what I've found with Hydrangeas? If I pick them when they're really fresh, early to mid season, they don't dry well. The blooms left til later in the season, just as they're about to change or are changing dry the best. I just cut them and stick them in a vase until they're dry! I'm sure the Florist used very fresh Hydrangeas, at the peak of their beauty and that's why they didn't dry well. JMHO

Beautiful home beautiful dining room! Some hydrangeas preserve better than others. One secret is to dry them when they are a bit older because fresh blooms shrivel. I cut mine for drying when they start to look papery. It can be an interesting look though and yours look pretty neat in the crystal bowl.

Your dining room is absolutely lovely. The table and chairs are beautiful, as are the family pieces--perfect blend. And your table centerpiece is not only super special, but so beautiful too. Lovely! ~Zuni PS - The plaid curtains are exactly what I plan on doing, once I find the color mix that I have in my mind and heart. :)

Hello Cindy~What a lovely home you have created! The furniture is handsome and the centerpiece is sure to make everyone smile whenever they see it and are reminded of that special day. I love your wood floors. Have a nice week,SHawn :)

Your dining room is gorgeous. I love your beautiful table and heirloom pieces. So nice to see the beauty of the wood. The hydrangeas still look amazing, so nice you have them. Thanks so much for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty

What a lovely room! I particularly like the wallpaper in your hallway, and that stunning chandelier. (I didn't see the source on that - did it come with the house? Lucky!) I can only imagine how much fun it must be to open that Empire chest - full of beautiful treasures! (Definitely beats the closets full of exploding disorganization that I am harboring. Hmm...a goal...)

We all are haunted by that dreaded To Do List, but I think yours should be a pretty short one. Your dining room and receiving area are beautiful!!! That Empire chest....wowza, wowza, wowza!!!! I am SO in love with that!!! Your home looks well-loved and cared for, and you have decorated it beautifully! The wood floors alone just make me lightheaded!!! I'm off to visit other rooms in your house!

Hi Cindy, I'm just coming over and following you from Home and Garden Thursday. I haven't seen your blog before and it is very lovely. Your dining room is beautiful and I look forward to seeing more. Please, stop by the Cottage for a visit. You would be most welcome..Happy Wednesday..Judy

Hello Cindy, your dining room is lovely - love the green color on your walls. Love the way you've displayed the floral arrangement - I think sometimes with Hydrangeas letting just a little water at first then letting it dry out helps. I do appreciate you sharing your lovely home with Home and Garden Thursday,Kathy
